Question 130: To ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources his plans to regulate and secure the spectrum space within which WiFi technology operates; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27871/05]

The regulation of spectrum, within which WiFi technology operates, is on the basis of minimum regulations with the use of the spectrum exempted from the requirement to hold a wireless telegraphy licence. The Commission for Communications Regulations, ComReg, which has responsibility for the day-to-day management of the spectrum has specified the relevant regulations for use of this spectrum by WiFi technology. These are in accordance with the standard practice within the EU and more generally on an international basis. I have no plans in this regard.
